  Stop Being the "Bottom Bitch" for Capitalism: Reclaiming Ujima and the Ancestor Algorithm https://www.spreaker.com/episode/tearing-down-the-capitalist-pimp-game--72456101 Let’s stop playing the game by their rules. We’ve been suckered into a state of survival—scared to look back, terrified of looking forward, and exhausted from grinding in a system that was never designed for us to win.

My path to meeting elder Geronimo was a long and blessed path that allowed me to run into elders all over this world and it is important for me to send shouts all to all of them , as well help the reader understand the power of service to your community, and walking this Journey.
